Only use microwave-safe containers and utensils.

Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed

during microwave cooking.

Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable

plastic, paper or other combustible food containers.

The microwave oven is intended for heating food and

beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of

warming pads, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar

may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.

If food being heated begins to smoke, DO NOT OPEN

THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug the oven and wait until

the food has stopped smoking. Opening the door while

food is smoking may cause a fire.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed

eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when

handling the container.

The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars shall be

stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before

consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole hard boiled

eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they

may explode even after microwave cooking has ended.

1.1 Care and cleaning

Door:

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of

the door, the door seals and sealing surfaces with a soft,

damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp

metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they

can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of

the glass.

ENGLISH

Oven interior:

For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp

cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still

warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe

several times with a damp cloth until all residues are

removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover. Make

sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small

vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.

Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable

and turntable support after use. These must be dry and

free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin

to smoke or catch fire.

Oven exterior:

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild

soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off with a

moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.

Control panel:

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control

panel. Care should be taken when cleaning the control

panel. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently

wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using

excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of

chemical or abrasive cleaner.

Turntable and turntable support:

Remove the turntable and turntable support from the

oven. Wash the turntable and turntable support in mild

soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. Both the turntable and

the turntable support are dishwasher safe.

IMPORTANT!

Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any

food deposits. Failure to maintain the oven in a

clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the
